OBJECTIVE: Students will be able to access the class website, the Canvas class, complete the initial class survey, and access the class syllabus and contract.
OBJECTIVE: Students will understand the difference between woodworking and carpentry, and the hands-on experiences that are possible this semester.
Students completed the Initial Class Survey.
Students were given a brief introduction to the class.
SAFETY SCORE: Students will receive a safety score approximately once a quarter. Students begin with a full score. While working in the shop over the course of the quarter, points are deducted from this score each time the student is observed using a machine improperly or otherwise not complying with safety rules and procedures. Score deductions depend upon the severity of the infraction. Minor errors will not incur a deduction. So . . . best practice this year when you are out in the shop? When in doubt about something, ASK!
CARPENTRY 1:
The CVHS Safety Website was introduced. Next, students completed the General Shop Safety Test on Canvas.
Random teams were formed once again. This time, students were asked to go to the shop and brainstorm a list of ten safety rules they believe that all users should abide by when in the shop.
The instructor reviewed group responses and supplemented as needed to ensure these General Safety Guidelines were discussed.
Time permitting, discussion was started on the first pieces of shop equipment to be used in the class -- the band saws and scroll saws.
CARPENTRY 2 & 3:
DAILY ROUTINE:
Go to your locker.
Remove your safety glasses. (YOU WILL BE MARKED TARDY IF YOUR GLASSES ARE STILL IN THE LOCKER WHEN THE BELL RINGS).
This year there are absolutely no phones or earbuds allowed during class. If Mr. K sees them, even in a pocket on your person during class but not out, school policy requires him to take the phone for the rest of the day.
At the moment, you DO NOT have a daily journal. Nevertheless, navigate to this web page each day. Check for any announcements. Occasionally, there may be something you will be prompted to do. If so, complete what is requested of you.
Resume work on your projects.
SAFETY TESTING: While you have used the equipment before, you still must complete safety testing. Mr. K wishes this to be as efficient as possible while still being effective in refreshing you on safety procedures. For you, safety testing will be completed largely in an autonomous mode. The basic procedure will look like this:
Student may participate in the classroom demonstration and discussion of the safety associated with a piece of equipment as it takes place. The student watches / reviews the provided video and/or reads the printed guidelines provided on the CV Safety Website for the equipment in question. In some cases you may be so familiar with a piece of equipment that you can move right to the test. However, your instructor requests that you review if you feel the need. The score you receive on each safety test will be the score entered into the gradebook
The student will complete the online safety test in Canvas.
After the test is submitted on Canvas, students must complete test corrections, providing stand-alone statements that indicate the key concepts for any question improperly answered on the test. A hardcopy of these safety test corrections must be turned into the turn-in basket in the room.
Videos and printed resources (but no other student or individual) can be used by the student to complete the online tests.
Carpentry 2 students worked to complete safety testing.

OBJECTIVE: Students will begin to understand the basics of the woodshop, as well as start to form relationships with other members of their class.
Students were assigned a pair of safety glasses and a locker to place them within.
Students worked in teams (randomly assigned) to complete a CV Carpentry Scavenger Hunt.
Teams were formed randomly by the teacher.
Teams were given a minute or two to learn the names of all their team members.
One initial task was handed out to all groups. Once each team had a task slip in their possession, the teacher told all groups to look at their task.
Together, groups completed their tasks. When finished, teams reported to the teacher. A different team member must give the answer each time the team approaches the teacher before a team member can repeat as the person who provides the answer.
SCORING:
If the task was successfully completed and the reporter successfully says the name of each of their team members, the team scores a point.
If the task was successfully completed but the reporter fails to give all team member names correctly, the team earns 1/2 point.
If the task is not successfully completed or the answer is wrong, the team looses a point.
There are no "passes". If you don't know the answer, apply common sense and, in some cases, you might have to just guess.
The team with the most points at the end wins.
